EKS Authentication

[marcodc-tim]

When deploying Liqo on AWS EKS, the standard Kubernetes client certificate-based authentication mechanism isn't available natively, as EKS relies on IAM authentication and the aws-iam-authenticator mechanism. Currently, this appears to require manual configuration steps. Are there plans to develop automation for this part as well?

Hi @marcodc-tim, I don't think so. @aleoli, @claudiolor, wdyt?

No, at the moment, no additional work is planned on AWS authentication. If you install liqo with liqoctl on EKS (https://docs.liqo.io/en/v1.0.1/installation/install.html#install-with-liqoctl go to the EKS tab), it sets up IAM authentication with EKS configmaps for each remote cluster; no manual set is required
